HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Blyth Standard, 1974-01-03, Page 11973 was a busy year in Blyth and area As it passed, 1973 did not seem to be an extremely even- tful year, but looking back on it, it becomes obvious that many important things happened to snake 1973 a year to reme» mb er. A year ago, local municiptil P-Th731yth VOLUME 84 - No. 1 councillors took their seats for the first year of a two-year term with many councillors in their inaugural speaches predicting this might be the last time they would hold office as township or village councillors. The reasons impending regional Thursday, January 3, 1974 ■:.._ 1973 in lleYiow Pictures from the Standard's files The year 1973 in p ictures .

Middle left, the winner, Jack Riddell greets the loser, Don Southcott after the March byelection in Huron riding. The byelection was called after Charles MacNaughton, longtime member for the riding (lower left) retired. The junior div- ision of the Blyth Little Theatre presented its first production in September. Rick Snell and Cathy Street were among the stc government imposed by the provincial government. But early in the year an event happened which changed the whole picture and that event, in the long run, may have been the most important happening of the year. In January, Charles MacNau- ghton long-time Member of Provincial Parliament for Huron riding and holder of many im- portant cabinet posts in the Davis government, stepped down, and a by-election was called to choose his successor. At the outsetit looked like a routine election of another Conservative member. ,after all, in the last provincial cam- paign in 1971 Charlie had run up a 6204 majority and his executive assistant, the slick Exeter -native Don Southcott was the heir designate. Jack Riddell, it little known farmer -business- man, former teacher and member of the county school board, was chosen to fight for the Liberals and Paul Carroll, Goderich tea- cher, was named for the New Democratic Party. Election night, March 15, sho- wed startling results as Riddell build up a heavy 3000 vote majority and became the first Liberal in 30 years to represent Huron riding. The stunning defeat in an election in which regional government was a major issue seemed to turn the provincial government away from reg- ional plans. In fact, after the defeat, Premier Davis and Mr. MacNaughton claimed there never had been plans for regional government in Huron. At year end, it appears local councillors will have the chance to run for election again in 1974. Another early story that man- aged to get mixed up in the el- ection campaign was the fight to. save the walls of the county jail in Goderich. The jail, un- used for sometime, was the object of a campaign by a group, based mostly in Goderich, . to have it turned into some sort of museum. Plans by the county council to tear down one wall to allow expansion of the Huron - Perth regional assessment office led to a lengthy battle. To let people see just what the discussion was about, an open house was held at the jail one cold, snowy February day and thousands waited hours' in the cold for a chance to see inside the jail walls. In the end, the wall stayed, .and the addition was redesigned around it. But at year end, no one knew just exactly what to do with the jail now that it has been saved. An early story locally in the new year was the word that the Maitland Valley Conserv- ation Authority had purchas- ed 400 acres in East Wawanosh from Harvey McDowell which would become a wildlife park and an outdoor education centre where children from Huron county .schools could le- arn about nature. Later in the year a contest was held to name the park and the name Wawanosh Valley was accepted. In January, the directors of the Blyth Agricultural Society voted to discontinue the Blyth Fall Fair for 1973. Amid the election campaign came the news, leaked by Paul Carron, that Huron might be the site of the new Hydro atomic power station to be loc- ated in the Bayfield area. It caused a fair amount of contro- versy especially in light of the fact that farmers in Hullett, Morris and other northern town- ships were involved in a fight with Ontario Hydro already, concerning u corridor for power lines from the Douglas Point nuclear station in Bruce to Seaforth. At year end, the issue of getting better compen- sation from Ontario Hydro for the land needed for the corridor had not been settled with Hydro proceeding with expropriation proceduresand the farmers banding together to pay for an :xtensive evalutation report.

PG. 2 THE BLYTH STANDARD, Jan. 3, 1974 The energy puzzle As we head into 1974, there is probably one thing that my- stifies most of us in the western world more than anything else: the energy crisis. Many of us wonder if the 1lcrisis1l is real, or just a gimic on the part of the oil companies to justify higher prices. And at this point, who really knows for sure, A former top executive for the Standard Oil Company in the U.S. (Esso) claims there is no shortage. He says that in the U.S. it is hard to find out how much oil the big companies have in reserve because they are allowed to keep their reserve figures secret. And it is certain, that it is hard to find out exactly what is going on. It still seems hard to believe that suddenly with hardly any warning, we can be short on oil and that no one in government or the oil companies could see it coming. Cer- tainly the Arb boycott has had some effect, but we're now being told that the shortage was coming anyway. We're fond of royal commissions and such in this country. Perhaps we should have one in this case to tell us just what the crisis is all about and how it could have been averted. Why, one wonders, has neither the government or the Opposition suggested calling for an investigation? They do for everything else. There's been a lot of hockum though that we do know is false. In the U.S. for instancethe government is making Canada a bit of a villain by trying to make it appear Canada is holding back on export of oil to our southern neighbours. The facts as shown by export figures, however, show that Canada has shipped more oil south this year than ever before. We just don't want to drain our own barrel to try to give a few drops to a nation that needs millions of gallons. And there's that fact that the crisis may become an election issue in Canada. If it can be proved that there is no crisis and that the government has been guilty of playing into theoil companies' hands, then it is a legitimate issue. If not, it seems like a red herring because there seems to be little that the opposition parties can do to reverse the problem. Doom in gloom • The energy crisis and severe inflation have sent panic through the financial world in the past few weeks and the stock market has been retreating ever lower. The a speculation now is that there may be a recession in 1974. One wonders, however, how long it will be before business- men smarten up and realize that the only thing to fear is fear itself. If everyone is afraid and gets too cautious in spending, there sure as heck will be a recession. If, on the other hand, all businessmen looked ahead confidently to the coning year determined to continue to think big, the economy would con- tinue to expand as it did last year. Our popular mythology today places the businessman (espec- ially the big businessman) on a pedestal as one of the viiser specimens of mankind, Why is it, then, that every few years they, like lemings, panic and rush to the deaths in the cold seas of recession? Macaroni cheese takes on a new look and flavour when prepared with Holland imported Gouda. Dress up the dish with bread - crumbs and sliced tomatoes and surprise the family with this new version of an old favourite. Macaroni and Gouda NEVER underestimate the appeal given to food by garnishes. Served in a contrasting dish, a slice of tomato, a sprinkling of chopped chives or green onions, a little parsley or some buttered breadcrumbs can make all the difference. This creamy version of an old standby is prepared with Holland imported Gouda and topped with browned buttered breadcrumbs, sliced tomatoes and a parsley sprig. 1 (1 ib. 14 oz,) imported Holland Gouda , 1 cup uncooked macaroni 2 tablespoons butter or margarine 2 tablespoons chopped onion 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour 11/2 cups milk V8 teaspoon white pepper 4 cup cracker crumbs 1 tablespoon butter tomato slices for garnish, parsley sprig Grease bottom and sides of I tit or ?quart casserole, Cook macaroni in 4 cups boiling water with 1 teaspoon salt, 15 minutes until tender, Drain. With a paring knife and firm - handled spoon scoop out centre of Gouda leaving a half-inch shell. Shred enough scooped out cheese to make 2 cups shredded Gouda. Wrap and store the remainder; use later for sandwiches or cube -style appetizers. Preheat oven to 300°. In saucepan melt butter; cook onion until transparent. Blend in flour; stir in milk, Cook, stirring constantly until mix- ture thickens, Add shredded imported Holland Gouda, Re- move from heat and stir until cheese melts. Season with white pepper.

He was presented with the Citizen of the Year award from the Board of Trade, a plaque from the provincial government and many gifts from the community. Memorial Hall was packed for the event. The Standard in April began publication of another public- ation, the monthly magazine Village Squire serving the area from Bayfield to Listowel and Lucknow to S eaforth. The Blyth Little Theatre presented its first ever produc- tion at the end of May called Mystery at Green Fingers. Planning is presently underway for another play. Early in May it was announced that a group of six local young persons had been accepted for an Opportunities for Youth grant to run a summer recreation program in Blyth. The program was a success. Queen Elizabeth carne to Canada in June and at a dinner for her guests included Reeve Bill Elston of Morris township and Roy Pattison, reeve of East Wawanosh and Warden of Huron County. Blyth moved closer to having sewers in July when council •learned that the Ministry of the Environment had moved to the stage where they were ready to name an engineering firm for the project. However, by year end, council had heard no further, news and had written the Ministry asking where things stood. In August a local track and field team went to Owen Sound where they brought home the championship against teams from larger centres who had had exten- sive training. The Standard, in August, was receipient of two awards in the Canadian Community News- paper Association's national competition. The youth division of the Blyth Little Theatre held its first play on Sept. 1 and it was such a hit it was held again on Sept. 9. On Sept. 1 Ed Watson's shipping yard in Blyth was accep- ted as a depot for shipment of hogs to the Ontario Pork Producers Marketing Board. The 1973 Threshers' Reunion was the biggest yet attracting 9000 persons in the three days. What will likely be one of the biggest local stories of 1974 was unveiled in November when the Lions Club announced it would begin a drive for money to build a $44, 000 swimming pool in Blyth. On November 19, Larry Walsh, Blyth native, began work as the new clerk -treasurer of the vil- lage succeeding Norm Shaw who in April had taken the place of Irvine Wallace who retired after serving the village for the past 10 years and for more than 40 years on the Hydro Commission. The longest running story of the year was the renovation of the Memorial Hall which was discussed and discussed through- out the year. Plans now call for a new roof to be installed in early spring.

This happy young -in -heart couple were married on Christmas Day, 1913, by the late Rev. Andrew Laing at the bride's home the same home where Mr. and Mrs. Allen still reside. The bride's sister, the late Mrs. William J. Criag (Jean) played the wedding march and about 20 guests enjoyed the ceremony. Mrs. Allen is the f inner Bell Elliott Stalker and of a family of eight, five daughters and three sons, she is the only rem- aining member. Mrs. Allen was born also, in this same house where they now dwell. Mr. Allen is the eldest son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Joshua Allen of the Maitland Concession, Colborne Township. Mr. Norman Allen, the only remai- ning brother, and his wife leila of R.R. 2, Clinton were head table guests at the dinner for family and close friends. Mr. Allen worked until his retirement in 1952 for the Can- adian Pacific Rahway, begin- ning his career at the McGaw section. In 1912 he was moved to Auburn and the newlyweds began their married life in a home made of two box cars and resided until the death of her parents in 1921 when they moved into the Stalker home where they resided ever since. Mr. Allen is a past Master of the Morning Star Masonic Lodge, Carlow. In 1966 he was presented with his 50 year Jewel there by his nephew Wor. Bro. William S. Craig of Clinton. On Friday, December 22, 1938, the couple celebrated their silver wedding anniversary with a reception and dance in the old Forrester's hall, Auburn. On Saturday a dinner for family and close friends was held at their home followed by a sing- song -always a popular past - time in the Allen household. The late Harvey McGee, first cousin of the bride, favoured the gathering with several Harry Lauder's Scottish ballads, for which he was famous. In 1963 a family dinner was held in honour of their Golden Wed- ding Anniversary at the Dunlop Inn north of Goderich. At this year's event an Open House was held from 2 to 4 p. m. followed by a delicious beef dinner served by the U.C.W. of Knox United Church for approximately 50 relatives and close friends. William S. Craig, nephew of the bride, acted as master of ceremonies and gave a touching but hum- orous toast to the bride -his aunt. In this he mentioned that though Aunt Bell and Uncle Mate had never had children of their own -they had never really been without chil- dren having been a substitute mother and father to many children including several of the nieces and nephews present. The Toast to the groom was eloquently given by Mr. Jud Melbourne, R.R. 2, Clinton, nephew by marriage of Mr. Allen's. Mr. Melbourne also read the many congratulatory messages that were received including one from Prime Mini- ster Trudeau, whose sons cele- brate their birthday on their wedding day. Other greetiiRs were from Opposition Robert Stanfield, Robert McKinley, Queen Elizabeth, Lawrence Welk, Rex I-Iumbard and other relatives unable to be present. Mr, Wil- liam J. Craig, brother-in-law of the bife proposed a toast to their 60 years of married life. Mr. Murray Gaunt, M.P.P. a friend of the family spoke br- iefly and said he too would like to be one of their adopted children and then presented the honoured couple with an impres- sive plaque from the Govern- ment of Ontario. The evening concluded with a reception and dance with Mr. and Mrs. Allen starting off the dance to the music of the Harborlites from Goderich. Guests were present from Wingham, Goderich, Lucan, Clinton, Corrie, Ilderton and Wallaceburg as well as Auburn and the surrounding community. During the day over 150 signed the guest book as they came to personally honour this inspiring couple. Mr. and Mrs. Allen are active members of Knox United Church, Mrs, Allen a member of U.C.W, and for years a member of the W.I. They are ardent hockey fans, avid card players and great music lovers, Mrs. Allen still plays the piano and Mr. Allen is renowned throughout the district as an expert watch and clock repairman, Each time he decides to retire from this hobby he declares he receives two or three especially inter- esting old clocks that he cannot resis restoring. Also Mr. Allen enjoys driving his 1970 Valiant winter and summer after succes- sfully passing his driving test each year since his 80th birth- day. The secret of their happy married retired life says Mrs. Allen is "to stay up late if there is something you would like to enjoy, then sleep in in the morning so don't hate yourself before night." Anyone Alto has met them knows that for them at least, it works.

Letter to the editor DEAR EDITOR: Perm:t me to use your col- umns to thank the people of Huron County for their under- standing shown over the teacher protest on Tuesday, Dece rnber 18, regarding Bill 274. The legislation proposed in this mea- sure would: 1. Force individuals who had exercised what was a legal right to resign, to continue working beyond the effective date of their resignation. 2. Modify, retroactively, the terms of a contract without con- sultation or consent of the two parties concerned. 3. Impose compulsory arbi- tration with the limits of settle- ment set before hand. Many besides teachers were gravely concerned that human rights would be infringed upon, that legal contracts would be tampered with, and that free and collective bargaining would be stifled by the measures pro- posed by Bill 274. As a result, numerous civil rights, labour, and professional organizations, in addition to many members of the' provincial legislature, voiced opposition to the bill. It appears that the demonst- ration of concern and protest has had positive results. The government has agreed not to proceed, at the present, with the bill, allowing more time fur the parties involved to work to- wards mutually acceptable sol- utions. It was not easy for us to leave our classrooms on Tuesday. How- ever, in view of the circumst- ances, we remain convinced that this was a necessity. Hope- fully our action will be seen as an exercise of civic responsib- ility in protesting such measures. Yours sincerely, Jack Kopas, Communications officer, District 45 (Huron Co- unty), Ontario Secondary Scho- ol Teacher& Federation. THE BLYTH STANDARD, Jan. 3, 1974, PG, 3 Christmas service at Auburn United Christmas Family services were held on the Auburn charge of the United Church on Sun- day, December 23. At the Donnybrook church, Mrs. Jim Leddy assisted Pastor Alfred Fry by giving a number of Christmas readings in between the singing of well known hymns.

These were also featured on the Lawrence Welk show. Ronald Hallam read the Scrip- ture lesson. The combined choir under the direction of the organist, Mrs. Norman Wight - man rendered a lovely anthem - Glory to the King of Kings. Besides assisting at the piano Miss Nancy Anderson contrib- uted a lovely solo, "Little Boy Child." Misses Lorraine Chamney and Doris Naylor sang a duet, "Song in the Air". The pup- ils of Mrs. John Hildebrand's class joined in giving a very interesting explanation of the symbols of Christmas. Pastor Fry's message was cen- tered around the theme, "The Reason for His Coming based on 1 Timothy verse 15.

Visitors week with Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Rintoul of Whitechurch. Mr. and Mrs, Glenn Coultes and boys stent the weekend with her father, Mr. Sherwood Taylor of Galt. your week ahead BY DR. A.W. DAMIS Forecast Period — January 6 • January 12 Money matters, connected with your job or project, seems to be featured in this week's cosmic cycle. Whether hidden or apparent, things will improve, materially. This week, instead of being concerned about an associate's problems, put a little cash aside .. . for an emergency of your own. Also, overlook petty criticism, Double the guard around your little "forbidden" secrets. Someone, so it seems, will be checking up on you, Also, it might be a good idea to re- cruit a few new friends. More than any other sign, you know that ex- citement and bizarre activities won't parlay into happiness. This week, your beliefs will be sub- stantiated. You have heard this before. Nevertheless, there's a difference between opportunity and temptation • a big difference. So, stay in bounds, during this cosmic cycle. You face a streak of criticism, and too, compli• cations that might develop from suspicions har- bored by your mate or similar alliance. The point? Avoid an emotional explosion, Strange as it might seem, friends will step for- ward with solutions to problems that, simply, 'do not exist. Meaning? Avoid the "good advice" coming your way. In one form or another, you will be pinch hit- ting for someone else. In any case, see that you do not lose your confidence. Don't ponder with decisions. Stay out of the limelight; let "George" do it. It's a good time to settle for half instead of the whole. The keyword? Placate! According to your chart, you will be at the peak of your specialty . , , playing both ends against the middle. Manipulating your associ- ates and a superior is in the scheme of things. Already, a member of the opposite sex has looked into your mind. Meaning? This week, your motives and gestures are easily read, So, take care. Most members of your sign will discover that outdoor elements or conditions beyond control .. can slow down their job, task or project. So, prepare for routine interruptions.

All of these were very much enjoyed by the elderly people. Caring for your car Engines, whether they propel tractors, other farm equipment, or just the family car, require extra attention if they're to perforin well for the lowest cost throughout the cold winter mon- ths, advises Hal Wright, secre- tary -manager of the Farm Mach- inery Board, Ministry of Agricu- lture and food. For prompt winter starts, engines must be in top shape. Points, plugs, condenser, coil, battery and even the recommender winter grade of motor oil all play a part in sparking an eng- ine into life. These should be checked, and the radiator filled with antifreeze solution, as part of your winter tune-up. Filters and valves, frequently neglec- ted shoulkl be inspected too. As the power source, the battery is the key to good winter starting. Cables should be removed and cleaned to ensure that power is being delivered efficiently. Liquid levels inside the battery should be maintained above the plates to enable the battery to function at full capac- ity, and terminals should be kept clean and tight. It's important to keep the battery completely charged since a low or dead battery will freeze. In fact, the lower the air to mp- erature, the harder it becomes for the battery to function effi- ciently. At 00 F, a battery fun- ctions at less than 50% of its normal capacity; at -200 F, it loses 70% of its normal power. "Maintaining an engine in good condition not only makes starting easier, it also saves wear, fuel and tempers," says Hal Wright. CHURCH OF GOD McConnel Street, Blyth CHURCH SERVICE - 11:00 A.M.

PG. 10 THE BLYTH STANDARD, Jan. 3, 1974 Donnybrook U.C.W. celebrates Christmas The December meeting of the U. C. W. was held Wednesday evening at the home of Mrs. John Hildebrand with a good attend- ance..

Mrs. Robert Agricultural TiDhts WITH ADRIAN VOS With a whole new year ahead of us, many will be taking a good look on how to save on food cost. One of the first items to come to mind will be meat. The Women's News Service reports from New York that one has to be carefull with protein substitutes. Only protein provi- ded by animal sources have com- plete proteins, This means that by eating soyburgers you may get all the protein that is reco- mmended, but you may shortc- hange your family on the essen- tial amino acids or building blocks. Soybeans, ground nuts and some others are almost complete while lentils, mung beans, oatmeal etc. are inco- mplete. The best thing to do, is to eat some d both as far as cost is concerned. Another point to keep in mind is the fact that by substituting plant protein for animal protein you get less iron and vitamin B especially the very important Vitamin B 12, Many young men; girls and young women don't get enough iron as it is according to the report. So folks, don't cut out the meat and eggs. ******** Another report carie out of New Zealand about cholesterol in the blood. Some doctors have claimed that this is caused by eating animal fats and eggs. 'Other equally qualified doctors have called this a shameful claim, as there is as much proof against this claim as there is for it. Now a study of the Maoris, the New Zealand nat- ives, shows that they suffer a higher rate of heart disease than their white counterparts. The fact is however that their cholesterol level is higher than the white man's. *hk*0k***k While we are on the subject of food and nutrition let's go to Toronto. Mrs, Peggy Prowse of Halifax claims that consum- ers are being brainwashed by advertising, causing them to buy trash food, Nutritional values are dropping and prices are going up. "We pay about 70t a pound for sugar when it comes as instant frosting on our corn- flakes, Flavoured breadcru- mbs cost over $2 a pound when they are in a package labelled shake and bake." She said that control of Canada's food is passing out of the hands of farriers and con- sumers and into the hands of giant corporations who have used all of the tricks of big business and consumers have not resisited the seduction. So, mothers, shop wisely.

If the paperboy is late, they start to fret and grow owly. If, for some reason, he doesn't show up at all, they are like a tiger with a sore tooth. This applies to readers of weeklies as well as dailies. Weekly newspaper readers are a mild and gentle lot, on the surface, But when their paper doesn't arrive on time, they turn into roaring lions or lionesses, as the case may be, Any weekly editor will back me up on this. When I was a weekly editor, I regularly received ferocious letters from dear 'old ladies stating flatly that the paper wasn't worth three cents a week but since they had paid for a year, I'd darn well better see that it was delivered on time. 1 know how they feel. I'm one of those addicts mentioned in my opening paragraph. I take two daily papers and half a dozen weeklies. If even one of them doesn't arrive on time, I'm not fit to live with. The only time I can get along without my papers is when I'm camping in the wilds. Even then, the first morning or two, I'm greatly tempted to• leap into the car and drive thirty miles to buy a paper. It takes me a couple of days to "dry out". It's not that there is any- thing particularly important in the paper. The front page of the dailies is junk and can be scanned in three minutes. Then I jump to the editorial page, which is only about 90 per cent junk. Then 1 read a couple of columns, leap to the enter- tainment critics, scan the sports page and it's all over. I ignore the financial section and the women's pages, which I think are an insult t0 women. In half an hour, I've skimmed several thousand words, and am no better off or happier than when I began. Stupid, isn't it? But you might as well try to tell an alcoholic that drinking is stupid. He'll 4 agree, and as soon as your back is turned, have a couple of stiff ones to steady his nerves, A readoholic, too, will agree that he doesn't need that morning pick-me-up. And the moment your back is turned, he's peering out the window for the paper- boy, twitching in every nerve, Or he's got his head in the garbage pail, absorbed in a story in the newspaper the garbage is wrapped in. I've tried to get the monkey off my back. First step was to shut my eyes while brushing my teeth. This meant I would not be reading the directions on the toothpaste tube, in French and English, during the operation. I lasted two days before 1 was sneaking peeks. Last summer, in England, I thought 1 might kick the habit, After all, I wasn't interested in Britain's disast- ers and divorces and football pools, which took up most of the space. I wouldn't read a single paper. First morning, having breakfast in bed, I felt as helpless and frustrated as a man who has just lost both arms. Second morning, and thereafter, I sneaked down to the lobby before breakfast arrived, bought an armful of papers, went back to the room and lay there reading piggily, happy as a boozer in a barrel of bingo. Reading weeklies is a different matter. You not only read the front page more slowly, but with greater interest. There are names of old friends, their children's marriages, deaths that shock. There's also a pretty good running account of what's happening in the old home town. No sensa- tionalism. Happy little stories. People helping people. Inside the paper, the classifieds slake good read- ing. That's because you know half the people who are seeing a lot or buying a baby carriage or advertising that they will no longer be responsible for their wife's debts. And then there's the writing of the country HURON DEAD STOCK REMOVAL. CLINTON We are now paying $5 - $15 for fresh dead or disabled cows and horses over 500 lbs. Two trucks to serve you better.

PG. 11 I'm a newspaper addict correspondents. Some of it is priceless and personal. Here's an item my brother sent me, and I'd like to share it. It appeared in the Madoc Review, in the 50 Years Ago column: "Rev. Bundock, of the Apostolic Church, was tendered a warm, though not unexpected, reception on Tuesday evening, when several citizens of the town and district waited on hirn at the close of evening service with cars and treated him to a drive in the country, landing finally at Anderson's Island, where they treated him to still further generosity by making a slight addition to his toilet in the way of tar and feathers. This demonstration of affection was accompan- ied by a very earnest request that he continue his journey, making tracks with the heels toward Stirling or a still greater display of feeling would be manifested by all present. "Mr. Bundock could hardly claim to be taken by surprise as he had been warned of what might happen to him and in fact on Friday evening of last week some little attempt was made to carry out this same program, but the generous use of firearms prevented the affair being pulled off. "Mr. Bundock has been in Stirling for a couple of years and claimed to be a faith healer." Now, there is the kind of style, elegant but incisive, that you'll never find in a daily paper.
